Homes and Flats We Move in Tranent
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
The Full Range in Tranent
Tranent sits between the A1 and the B1348, about nine miles east of Edinburgh city centre. It is one of East Lothian's oldest towns, built on the back of the coal industry. The housing stock reflects that history. You will find Victorian terraces, post-war council semis, and 1990s private estates all within a short walk of each other.
Giant Van has been moving families out of and into Tranent for years. We know the town well. Our crews are familiar with the tight turning circles on Elphinstone Road, the speed humps on Windygoul, and the limited parking outside the older cottages on High Street.
House removals in Tranent start from £250 for a small two-bedroom home. A larger four-bedroom property typically costs between £550 and £850 depending on volume, floor levels, and distance to your new address. Every job includes furniture wrap, blanket protection, and a fully insured van.
We serve both EH33 1 and EH33 2 postcodes. If you are moving within the town, heading to Prestonpans, or relocating to Edinburgh itself, we handle the full move. Call for a same-day quote or book in seconds through our app.
Street-Level Planning in Tranent
For moves in Edinburgh, access in Tranent is more complex than it looks on a map.
The town centre around Church Street and High Street has narrow carriageways with on-street parking on both sides.
On busy mornings, a standard 7.5-tonne removal lorry cannot pass through without one lane pulling aside.
Our drivers know this and plan arrival times accordingly.
The Windygoul estate, built in the 1960s and 70s, uses shared access lanes at the rear of properties.
Furniture often has to be carried through gardens or side passages rather than straight out the front door.
We always send a team of at least two loaders on these jobs.
Loch Road and the newer developments off Birsley Brae have wider access.
Large vans and Luton-size vehicles can park on the street without a permit.
However, residents there often have larger homes, meaning more items and longer load times.
We account for this in every quote.
For properties on Salters Road near the Mercat Cross or on the uphill sections of Begbie Gardens, our crew will assess access on arrival and adjust the carry route.
We carry long furniture straps and a full range of trolleys for tight stairwells and narrow hallways.
Nothing is left to chance.
Message us on live chat to discuss your specific access before booking.

Work Out Your Moving CostTranent Moving Checklist
These five steps will save you time, money, and stress on the day.
Tranent has no formal suspension system for residential streets, but you should notify East Lothian Council at least 48 hours ahead if you need kerbside space held outside your property on Church Street or High Street. Our team can advise on what signage helps.
Wardrobes on Windygoul often have to pass through 1960s doorframes that are narrower than modern standards. Removing doors and shelves before we arrive saves around 45 minutes on an average bedroom job.
Put your kettle, chargers, documents, and one change of clothes in a clearly labelled box that goes into the cab, not the van. You will want these within reach on arrival.
Our crew loads by room order. If boxes are labelled "kitchen" and "bedroom two" rather than "plates" and "books," unloading at your new home takes 30 percent less time.
Packing starts from £150. Tranent's older stone properties often have ceramic floor tiles that crack under dropped boxes. Let us wrap your glassware, artwork, and electronics with professional-grade materials.

Areas We Cover Around Tranent
Giant Van operates across the whole of East Lothian from our Edinburgh base.
Tranent is a central point for many of the moves we handle in this area.
We regularly move families between Tranent and Prestonpans, which sits just one mile to the north in the EH32 postcode.
The two towns share a similar housing mix, and many residents move between them as their families grow or downsize.
Musselburgh is another frequent destination for Tranent movers.
Lying six miles west along the A1, it offers faster rail access into Edinburgh Waverley. We complete the Tranent-to-Musselburgh route several times each week.
We also cover Haddington, ten miles to the east in EH41.
This is East Lothian's county town and has seen significant new housing development. Many Tranent families relocate there for larger homes at similar prices.
For longer-distance moves, our long-distance service starts from £500.
We move clients from Tranent to Glasgow, Aberdeen, Manchester, and London on a regular basis. Overnight storage is available from £400 if there is a gap between your completion dates.
We also serve Wallyford, Macmerry, Ormiston, and Pencaitland.
All of these EH33 and EH34 villages fall within our standard pricing zone. No extra mileage charge applies within 10 miles of Tranent town centre.

Giant Van vs Other Removal Companies in Tranent
Not all of them serve Tranent directly or understand the access conditions on its streets.
Most local removal firms in East Lothian do not. You know exactly where your belongings are at every point during the move. This matters when you are waiting at a new property and need to plan your day.
Many removal companies in this area require a home survey before giving a price. We provide a fixed quote in under two minutes via app or phone. The price does not change unless the scope of the job changes, and that change has to be agreed with you first.
For residents in Tranent who need to move urgently, whether due to a chain collapse, a landlord deadline, or a sudden change in completion date, a same-day slot is often available from £80. Most local firms need 48 to 72 hours of notice.
That combination is not common among the smaller removal companies serving EH33.
Giant Van serves all postcodes across EH33 1 and EH33 2.
Our removal teams work across Tranent, Prestonpans, Wallyford, Macmerry, Ormiston, and Pencaitland every week.
Pricing is fixed and transparent: Man and Van from £48, House Removals from £250, Long Distance from £500, Same Day from £80, Packing from £150, and Overnight Storage from £400.
Message us in the live chat or book instantly through the app.
